There are two possibilities of incurring a financial penalty for filing returns after the due date. Under Section 271F of Income Tax Act, there is a provision whereby the assessing officer may slap a penalty of Rs 5,000, if an individual fails to furnish ITR before the end of the relevant assessment year.
